Flying Shotgun

Some may recall Polenar Tactical’s Flying Shotgun. Well this is a little different. The shooter does not throw the shotgun in a fit of rage. Instead it flies out of the woman’s hands due to recoil.

I am curious what ammo she was shooting. Typically indoor ranges do not allow bird shot so it might be buckshot or a slug. The amount of energy that this shotgun has to launch itself rearward is surprising. I am a little concerned why they gave this woman this gun to shoot and did not instruct her properly on how to shoot it.

Crossposting: projectile velocity was significantly lower than average in this shot.

Obviously the “bench effect”….

That video was only eight seconds long but it gave me a headache.

I call B.S.

I looks like someone yanked it out of her hands with a string.

If they did they timed it perfectly with the trigger pull.

Heartily agree. Total fake.

Nope. Slugs in a pistol shotgun with someone unfamiliar with shotguns.

Step 1: Give woman who has never shot anything a pistol-grip shotgun.
Step 2: Don’t instruct her properly in shooting a challenging gun to use.
Step 3: Film her either getting hurt or the shotgun flying away.
Step 4: Post on YouTube and profit.
Step 5: Ignore the anger of thousands or responsible gun owners who have seen this all a dozen times and know just what these ******* did.

Is that about right?

SignalFromTheRim

Sounds about right.

Hahah! “hoodclips”

I’m sure glad my wife has a better grip than that! :o)

This kind of thing pees me off – giving someone a gun to shoot and setting them up for failure. It’s unsafe and ensures that they wont want to take up shooting as a sport or for defensive purposes.

Better this then a Darwin award and just as effective to stop breading of this individual.

Breading? That sounds simultaneously cruel and delicious.

I really need to proof read better thanks for the catch.

There are Living Darwin Award winners. You don’t have to die, just take yourself out of the gene pool. I’m pretty sure this method is effective no matter which end of the shotgun is pointed at his crotch.

True

This almost looks staged, I have a very similar 12 gauge shotgun, I handed it to my wife loaded with buckshot all I said was hold on and fire, she didn’t have it fly out of her hands like that and it was only her second time shooting any shotgun, now she handles a shotgun like a pro and enjoys turkey shoots at my club and shooting in general, I have even shot mine loaded with a slug one handed and no kick hard enough to make it fly out of my hand but I guess anything can happen when there’s a camera around.

This is my local range in Milwaukee. Slugs are mandatory. They also instituted a strict no photo/video policy after this video came out.
